    Arrived early and brought to our desired outside table. Server was very accommodating, provided space to have our conversation without feeling rushed. She provided appetizer and entree recommendations. Courses were well presented and phased.

    The food is excellent - guacamole is the best. Also, the margaritas are divine.

    Great place to hang out. The tableside guac prep results in great custom guac! All the menu items were delicious spicy margaritas have a nice real pepper flavor. Only wish is better veg/vegan options.

    Not bad, not great. Pretty typical Mexican food. I will say that the sangria was quite good.

    Meh. There used to be several Tio's in town. Now there's just one. There's a reason for that.

    Went there as a group of 8 and had a very pleasant experience! The guacamole made table-side is AMAZING - best ever - and the other menu items were very good as well. I recommend the Papas taco. :) Prices were very reasonable considering the quality of the food, and the ambiance was very nice - very Mexico-y... a fun place. Would definitely go back and recommend.

    Tios is fantastic Mexican food delivered by experienced, capable and friendly servers. Sarah was awesome. Food is always solid and often they will have Mexican styled dishes (swordfish) that vary the typical fare, which they do very well. Best Margaritas in town!
